Its ok, indeed I have one but I use it for flying because it does not have a rotary control so that you cannot control the volume of the sound chip remotely.
I think I am about to upset someone :haha:

It's a very well made Transmitter, and it's also fairly easy to fit a backlight to it. There's a kit available online. You'll also find a Youtube vid on installing the backlight, and others for altering settings (including stick/toggle self-centring etc..) You'll need the self-centring feature for Tank use. :| The user manual explains how to set that up, as well as how to switch stick functions around. :wave:
